The record giant moray eel, Thyrsozdea macrura (Bleeker)

Abstract

While examining the landings of the trawler catches at Rameswaram
on the south-east coast of India on 20 July 1971, we came across a
female giant Moray Eel, Thyrsoidea nzacrura (Bleeker) which
measured 3310 mm in total length in the fresh conditiori and weighed
8-76 kg. The eel was caught at a depth of 5 fathoms off Athankarai
(9"21fN., 7g002'E.) by an otter trawl.
